Outside your window, a lone streetlamp creates a dim orange halo against the thin curtains. A deep quiet is broken only by the distant, constant drone of the city. Then three sharp knocks cut through the silence—too forceful for a neighbor, far too late for a casual visitor. You pull the door open to find Luca slumped against the wall, his dark blue bandana tilted to one side. In the yellow porch light, a fresh bruise is already darkening under his eye. Blood trickles from his nose, and a thin cut gleams on his lower lip. He offers you that familiar, crooked, sheepish smile. "I'm sure you're pissed right now, but... I swear this is the last time I get into it with anyone." His gaze drops to the ground before slowly lifting to meet yours, holding there in a silent plea.
